Ingredients

2 cups sweetened shredded coconut , divided
1 bag mini pastel colored marshmallows (10 ounces)
1/2 cup finely chopped toasted walnuts
12 ounces chocolate candy melts , melting wafers, or CandiQuik Almond Bark

Instructions

Line 2 baking sheets with wax paper, parchment, or plastic wrap. Leaving 1-inch from the edge bare, sprinkle each piece with 1/2 cup of the shredded coconut in a strip measuring approximately 10 inches long by 2 & 1/2 inches tall.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the marshmallows and walnuts together.
Melt candy melts according to package instructions. Make sure it's thoroughly melted but not too warm or it will melt the marshmallows.
Pour the chocolate over the marshmallows and walnuts. Lightly spray a spatula with nonstick cooking spray and then gently stir until everything is well coated.
Divide the mixture in half and scoop on top of each strip of coconut, then sprinkle a 1/2 cup of the shredded coconut on top of the marshmallow mixture.
Using the 1-inch lip of the wax paper, begin tightly rolling the marshmallow mixture into a log. Tuck in the ends of the paper and repeat the steps for the remaining marshmallow mixture.
Chill in the refrigerator for 45 to 60 minutes so the chocolate can harden. (Don't rush this step. Ample chilling time is important in order to get clean slices.)
Unroll the logs and slice into 3/4-inch pieces. Serve and enjoy!
